Dear ACO friends:
This season we make the new Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center our home venue. Our concert there in 2009, shortly after its renovation, revealed dramatically improved acoustics for period instruments, and our audience raved that the ACO sounded more glorious and vital than ever before. You will hear two major concerts there in the coming season.
ACO offers a 60% reduced price subscription to encourage new ACO fans and listeners to sign-up for the four major subscription concerts.
The Orchestra's nationally acclaimed Classical Music for Kids program will expand next season to include an enchanting Family Concert Matinee with the fiery Horacio Franco, Mexican recorder virtuoso. Horacio has rockstar appeal for children and adults. This year he will be joined onstage and at our school shows by yours truly clad as J.S. Bach.
Repertoire highlights include many works that the ACO will perform for the first time: Schubert's elegant Rosamunde (complete ballet music), the Beethoven 4th Symphony, and Mozart's hauntingly beautiful Requiem. The season closes with a guest appearance by one of the great period violinists of our time, Monica Huggett.
We all appreciate beauty and music in our lives. The American Classical Orchestra audience experiences music written centuries ago, yet brought vividly to the present by the organic timbres of the period instruments.
Thanks to all of you who have attended our
performances and continued support through the 2010-2011 season. Please join us for this our 27th season, 2011-2012. I invite you to subscribe and enjoy!
Sincerely,
Thomas Crawford, Music Director
